Though he has not committed to it yet, actress Kate Hudson, his former co-star in the rom-com \u201cHow to Lose a Guy In 10 Days\u201d and \u201cFool\u2019s Gold,\u201d says he has a \u201creal chance\u201d of winning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">During an appearance on Rob Lowe\u2019s podcast, Hudson said McConaughey\u2019s winning chances would depend on his platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not heard this,\u201d Hudson said upon hearing the news of McConaughey\u2019s rumored run. \u201cThis is the first I\u2019m hearing of McConaughey getting into politics. I mean, I guess it depends on what kind of, you know, platform he\u2019s running on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a really interesting guy,\u201d the actress continued, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/kate-hudson-matthew-mcconaughey-real-chance-winning-texas-governor\">Fox News<\/a>. \u201cIf he does want to get into politics, like \u2014 you probably wouldn\u2019t get a politician who would care as much as he does. I think he\u2019s very authentic \u2014 but the governor of Texas is a big job, I mean, is that what we\u2019re talking about? The governor of Texas?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hudson said that Matthew McConaughey would not \u201chave anything to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I love about Matthew is he doesn\u2019t really have anything to hide. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever felt like he did,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cI mean, the only thing I think anyone\u2019s gonna maybe, like \u2014 what, some like, you know, a couple too many tequilas, dancing in a bar? Like, I mean, you know, how bad can that be? No one\u2019s more fun on a couple tequilas, it doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t run a state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hudson did, however, concede she doesn\u2019t know enough about his platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know enough about it and I don\u2019t know enough about the platform he\u2019d be running on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As Politico reported last month, the Academy Award winner has been \u201cquietly making calls to influential people in Texas political circles, including a deep-pocketed moderate Republican and energy CEO, to take their temperature on the race and to talk about seriously throwing his hat in the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politico noted that Texas political strategists do not see a solid path forward for McConaughey given the business community\u2019s overwhelming support for Governor Greg Abbott and the fact that McConaughey would then be sacrificing his position as a cultural icon to become a political figure.<\/p>\n<section class=\"page-content__row page-content__row--story main-section\" data-content-section=\"5\">\n<div class=\"container container--story story-layout--fixed-fluid\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story\">\n<div class=\"container__row container__row--story story-layout--fluid-fixed\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story center-horizontally\" readability=\"40.828511309837\">\n<div class=\"story-text\" readability=\"53.17201472909\">\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-3\">\u201cI\u2019m a little more surprised that people aren\u2019t taking him more seriously, honestly,\u201d said Austin-based GOP strategist Brendan Steinhauser. \u201cCelebrity in this country counts for a lot \u2026 it\u2019s not like some C-list actor no one likes. He has an appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-content-child-index=\"0-3\">As Howard Stern recently noted, the public\u2019s perception of McConaughey would change dramatically the moment he revealed his political platform and beliefs, both of which he has been relatively vague about. \u201cOnce you run for office, you actually have to give an opinion,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/howard-stern-warns-the-rock-matthew-mcconaughey-about-getting-into-politics\">Stern said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-0\">McConaughey has not even stated what political party banner he would run for governor under.<\/p>\n<p data-content-child-index=\"0-0\">Speaking on \u201cThe Carlos Watson Show,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/matthew-mcconaughey-supports-masking-a-short-term-inconvenience\"> the actor said<\/a> he would want his political legacy to be long-lasting and does not want to place a \u201cbunch of Band-Aids\u201d on a problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not interested in going and putting a bunch of Band-Aids on that are gonna be ripped off as soon as I\u2019m out,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m interested in building something that can last, and I\u2019m measuring what category that is. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"incontent-plugin incontent-plugin-555944\" readability=\"32.780124223602\">\n<div class=\"incontent_widgets es_recommended_content\" readability=\"15.47950310559\">\n<p>\u201cI trust my core beliefs enough and my values enough to feel comfortable listening to and opposing. We try to teach our kids delayed gratification, but we don\u2019t like to think about further than tomorrow \u2014 we need immediate results,\u201d he added. \u201cHow many things do actually leaders and politicians get done in their four [years] that now become realized later on after they\u2019re in office? They never get the credit for those. You only get credit, wins, W\u2019s and L\u2019s, what you did in the bank of those years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/matthew-mcconaughey-is-putting-out-feelers-for-texas-governorship\">Matthew McConaughey Is Putting Out Feelers For Texas\u00a0Governorship<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-p8ym73\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
